Debussy believed that percussion in Europe was the art of barbarians.[David Toop, Ocean of Sound]

oday’s music is a widely splattered landscape. Within this area I will grant
you the possibility to check out a small subset of this large empire, showing
some of its aspects I am interested and working in.

I have found a publisher for my scores. Laced and Frühling are the first two works published at
copy us , an online publishing company that offers scores for download at no
cost!

n 2000/2001 I composed the music for a dancetheater-project that dealt with
the life of Camille Claudel, performed under Fabrice Jucquois.
The tracks vary from complex ambient and minimal music to classical music and you can some of them
in the downloads section.

s of 2002 I started working together with Angels Cologne , a group performing mainly
at ropes, some subcathegory of socalled aerial dance. Aside from writing the music for the complete performance I also
co-developed the story an coded a program that was used for computing graphical morphing of dancer’ contours,
which were then projected on the floor in certain scenes. The highlight was a full invitation to the
Edinburgh Dance Festival 2009 with our show Peter Pan - Learn to fly.
The picture below give some impressions of the show, Angels, which was
performed in London, The Place (excerpts) and in cologne. A second phase of performances,
completely revised with a smashing story and breathtaking new rope-acrobatics was launched with great success in March 2007.
If you like to get deeper inside or download some music, I invite you to follow the link above. The homepage is presented both in english and german language.

Here is the text for the song abandoned (youtube), which you can find on youtube following the
link (low volume recording, so you might need to set your speaker volume to a high level).

Lucifer
Looking up I’m falling down,
I see your Angel’s Crown high above from where I’ll be.
You abandoned me from home, from heaven’s sacred dome;
by playin’ a faitful card
you have torn every bit of us apart
I cast a curse right through your heart --
a curse right from my heart.

Gabriel
You have been a precious knight,
so vast in grace and beauty.
As an avatar of virtue you walked the path of truth
when suddenly your glory began to push you out of the light!

e invited to download an analysis of Hans Zender’s composition Dialog mit Haydn, written in german language. The file is a common pdf-file and should be readable even with relatively old versions of Acrobat Reader, ghostview, kpdf and other programs. The document might contain some errors and for hints about those I am always grateful.

udio Signal Processing is one of my favorite fields of researche. If you happen to not be a scientist, you can download a very short introduction to (audio) signal processing. It covers some basic concepts and middle school knowledge in mathematics (basically, multiplication, addition and the concept variables) suffices to understand this paper. Nonetheless, it contains enough proofs and information for one to understand the underlying ideas. However, the language of this introduction is german; it might contain some errors and for hints about those I am always grateful.
